Summary:
Although great efforts have been made to understand citizenship, it
has remained a contested concept, largely because of the problem of
the changing relationship between citizens and their community of
membership or belonging. The European Union poses the most recent and
dramatic change to this definition of citizenship. Arguing that
citizenship must be explored from a perspective that takes this
continual change into account, Antje Wiener develops the concept of
citizenship practice - the process of policymaking and/or political
participation which contributes to creating the terms of citizenship.
The approach draws on both comparative social-historical literature
on the state and the new historical institutionalism in European
integration theories. "European" Citizenship Practice advances a
discursive analysis of citizenship practice based on these related
bodies of literature, which lie at the heart of this important
contribution to citizenship studies.
